Sivan Scheffner

Sivan Scheffner is a Ceramicist located in Tel Aviv . She graduated from the Ceramics & Glass Department at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem (B.F.A).
In recent years she have found that her works is mostly influenced by self- reflection, mostly by the importance of the process that occurs in the studio, as opposed to the final product that is eventually displayed outside of it, the point where an object becomes an independent work of art, and the special bond between the artist and his material. In order to answer these queries, she is using a variety of techniques such as wheel throwing, molding and sculpting.
In recent years, she presented a variety of works in several exhibitions in Israel and abroad, such as ‘TERRA’, the 25th mediterranean exhibition, Museum of Ceramics Grottaglie, Italy (2018); ‘Terra Cotta Rave’ Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Center, Tel Aviv (2018); ‘Dreams’, B.Y5 gallery Tei Aviv (2018); ‘Urban Shade in Israel’, Museum of Design, Holon (2015); International ceramics ‘Mural Let’s Meet’, in Wroclaw, Poland (2016); ‘Self Import’ Incubator Gallery in Bezalel (2016), Bezalel’s graduate exhibition (2017) etc.
